1870's

About the Item

Antique landscape oil painting by French artist, Charles Edouard Frère (1837-1894), signed in the bottom right with a dedication, 'a l'amiable Grimaldi'. This wonderful old painting from the mid 1800's is a delight, it is said that Frère would paint any landscape as long as he could include horses. Here, the horses are ploughing the field, encouraged by their owner. It's on a smooth wood board and shows believable hues of the French countryside, a clear blue sky under which the animated horses labour, a captivating and traditional French school painting of the impressionist genre.
